The document defines and describes the seven elements of art: line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture. Line is a path in space that can be of different widths and directions. Color has properties of hue, value, and intensity. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Shape is a two-dimensional area enclosed by lines, while form is a three-dimensional shape with depth. Space includes the areas around and within a composition, such as foreground, middle ground and background. Texture describes the surface feel of an object, whether actual or implied.
Elements of Art
- 1. Memory. N Masina Grade 8 Elements of Art
- 2. Elements of Art The building blocks or ingredients of art. They structure and carry the work.
- 3. What are the elements of arts? The Elements of Art are the “tools” that artists use to make art. There are 7 of them:
- 4. Elements of Art 1. Line 5. Form 2. Color 6. Space 3. Value 7. Texture 4. Shape
- 5. Line
- 6. Line A line is a path that a point takes through space. Lines can be thick, thin, dotted or solid. They can be straight, zig-zagged, wavy, curly, etc. They may be horizontal vertical diagonal
- 7. Color
- 8. Color Color has three properties: 1. HUE: this is the name of the colors 2. VALUE: refers to the lightness or darkness of a hue. 3. INTENSITY: refers to the purity of the hue (called “Chroma”)
- 9. Color
- 10. Warm and Cool Colors Warm – red, orange, yellow Cool – green, blue, violet
- 11. Neutral Colors These colors are made by adding a complimentary color (opposite on the color wheel) to a hue. Neutralized hues are called tones.
- 12. Value Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Value makes objects appear more real because it imitates natural light. When showing value in a work of art, you will need a LIGHT SOURCE. A light source is the place where the light is coming from, the darkest areas are always on the opposite side of the light.
- 13. VALUE High Range in Value Low Range in Value
- 14. Shape Shape is created when a line becomes connected and encloses space. It is the outline or outward appearance of something. Shapes are 2 Dimensional- which means you can measure its HEIGHT and its WIDTH. There are two basic types of shapes:
- 15. Geometric shapes have smooth even edges and are measurable. The include the square, the circle, the triangle and the rectangle.
- 16. Organic shapes have more complicated edges and are usually found in nature- such as leaves and flowers.
- 17. Form A Form is a shape that has become 3Dimensional (3-D) Form has HEIGHT, WIDTH and DEPTH. Depth shows the thickness of the object. Forms are NOT flat like shapes are!
- 18. Form can be 2D Form can be 3D
- 19. . S p c a e
- 20. S p a c e Space is the area in, around, above, below, etc. in a composition. It is basically divided into 3 parts: Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background.
- 21. S p a c e Positive (filled with something) and Negative (empty areas)
- 22. S p a c e Perspective is when the artist uses a vanishing point on the horizon and then creates a sense of deep space by showing objects getting progressively smaller as they get closer to the vanishing point.
- 23. TEXTURE The surface quality or "feel" of an object, its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc.
- 24. TEXTURE Textures may be actual or implied.
- 25. TEXTURE Implied – texture that has been simulated in drawing and painting on a smooth surface Actual – texture that you can feel with your sense of touch
